Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tomb of the Blood Pool
"So we're all going to die here?" Yang Song asked, with an indifferent expression, people are like this, when he accepts a fact, no matter how ridiculous the fact is, he can deal with it calmly, of course, people who can do such a thing are iron-clad men who have gone through the wind and rain, Yang Song is one of them.

Su You admires Yang Song, he can die at any time for his master, this kind of loyalty is even more valuable in today's rampant desire for profit.
Yang Song's words made everyone's faces covered with a layer of gray, no one wanted to die, even if they died, no one wanted to die in such a strange place.
"There's still some time, let's take a break." Su Zuo also sat on his backpack and took out food from it.
Their own uncle can always make people feel inexplicably at ease, Su You and Dalong saw that Su Zuo was the same, and they also took off their backpacks and sat on it, and then ate.
The place where they are now belongs to the center of this village, and there are very elaborate trees around it, but they have long since died, Carlos and Felix broke off the branches of those dead trees, and made a fire among the people, and the warm breath rushed to their faces, Su You felt tired, and every cell in his body was shouting.
"Do you know where your tasks can be done?" Qi Shan asked Benjamin.
Benjamin struggled to recall for a moment before he said, "I remember that when Aaron was distributing the mission, he told me that the end of our mission is a place called the blood pool, and we only need to take out the spiritual blood from the blood pool. As he spoke, he took out a medium-sized test tube from his backpack, which was probably used to hold spiritual blood.
"You want to take the blood? Who is your boss? Xiaobai suddenly asked.
Along the way, Xiaobai rarely spoke, only occasionally said a few words to Su Zuoyi or Su You, and everyone almost forgot about his existence.
Benjamin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have never met our boss, we have a total of 12 people, we used to be a team of mercenaries, because on the way to smuggling, we were targeted by the international police, we were trapped in an abandoned factory for several days, seeing that the police outside were about to break through and sweep, at this time, our current boss rescued us, he is really great, even those international police can't help him!" Benjamin was very excited, and Carlos and Felix around him also nodded their heads.
"The days we used to live were the days of licking blood from the knife edge, for the sake of money, we would do a lot of illegal and unconscionable things, at this time our boss appeared, he asked us if we should follow him, he can give us a normal life, and will not let us sell our conscience again! He saved us all! But none of us have ever seen him, and each time we are assigned a task by a different person, but at least we don't have to live in hiding in Tibet, we have our own home, we have our own identity, we can spread around the park after tea and dinner like normal people, and we don't have to worry about being hunted down by the enemy at any time. Carlos put away his reckless look and replaced it with a serious face.
Xiaobai's eyes rolled and asked from a different angle: "Your boss is really good, how long have you been with him?" ”
Felix thought for a moment and said, "It's been about ten years, I remember I was a teenager at the time. ”
Xiaobai's heart was clear.
Su You didn't understand what Xiao Bai's intention was to ask like this, and he didn't even understand what Xiao Bai's purpose was.
Sensing Su You's question, Dalong stabbed him with his arm and gave him a look, meaning: Don't trust anyone, they all have problems!
The crowd who were resting suddenly trembled violently on the ground!
"What's going on!" Su You was defenseless and fell from his backpack to the ground all of a sudden.
Dalong shook Su You up and said, "It is estimated that this island is sinking!" ”
Su You then remembered that the small island where they were located was called Shenfu Island, and it would go from floating on the surface to sinking into the water every certain period, and so on, it must be time to replace.
"What to do! Are we going to be stuck here! Ryoko was a little flustered, after all, he was young, and no one wanted to die like this.
Xiao Kai's face was also pale, and he said: "There are so many people here, they will definitely come up with a way to get out." ”
As he spoke, their feet shook even more, and suddenly, the ground at Su You's feet began to rise, Su You put one foot on top and the other foot below, with the rise of the ground in the middle, Su You fell to the side, and the rest of the people were also shocked by this sudden change, the rising ground caused a strong vibration, and everyone could not stand normally, so they had to stay close to the ground.
Because of the position they were standing, Kai, Ryoko, Jansson, and Carlos had been sitting on the high ground, and because of the suddenness of the incident, they had not been able to get down in the first place.
"Janson!" Qi Shan staggered to his feet, looked up at the ground that was already more than ten meters high, and shouted loudly.
"Carlos!" Felix also shouted.
The people above seemed to be unconscious, no matter how they shouted, there was no reaction, Qi Shan was anxious, took out his gun and shot at the bottom of the rising ground, Felix also came to help, but to no avail.
Benjamin grabbed a man and said loudly, "Now is not the time to worry about them!" Calm down and see where we are now! ”
Felix listened to Benjamin's words, but Qi Shan kept shooting there as if he hadn't heard it, and the violent vibration of the gun body had already shaken his account swollen, but he was indifferent.
Su You saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. But Qi Shan's eyes are red now, that is the despair and fearlessness of those who have lost their loved ones, and people who have nothing are the most terrible!
Su You couldn't control Qi Shan at all, and when Da Long and Xiao Bai saw this, they controlled him together.
"Get out of here!" Su Zuo also saw the black cracks that slowly exploded on the ground around him, and said to the others.
The cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and they are stretching on the ground one by one, like black pythons, which will engulf everyone at any time.
The seven of them were hiding from the "man-eating crack" on the ground, while protecting Qi Shan, who had fallen into a state of madness, and at the same time, they had to explore the surrounding situation and cover for everyone, which could be described as a worry.
Dalong thought that Qi Shan was too noisy, and the current situation was so critical, so he knocked Qi Shan unconscious with a big neck.
Su You, who had his hands free, kept dodging the gradually widening gaps under his feet, each gap was only as thick as a finger at first, and in less than 5 seconds, it would become half a meter wide, and it was still expanding at an alarming speed.
"There's no crack over there!" Su You suddenly found a building in a corner of the village, there seemed to be a protective film on that side, and any cracks stopped abruptly when they reached that side, and this side almost overturned, but that side was intact.
This building is a bit similar to a yurt, it didn't exist before, but time was pressing, and Su You didn't have time to think about when it appeared.
Everyone had no choice, and they all jumped into the protective layer of the building before the crack was too big to cross.
Su You stood still, looked back at the village that was still full of strange atmosphere a moment ago, and was subverted in an instant, only sighing that the builders here were really ruthless, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own work in order to kill the intruder!
The 12 buildings in the first four and eight in the back have all been reduced to ruins, and all the gray dust particles are flying in the air.
"Isn't it possible that those people are killed?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.
Benjamin shook his head, sighed, and said, "I think they went out safely." ”
"Could it be that it's four or six eight?" Felix remembered what Benjamin had said earlier and asked.
"That's right, maybe it was because we inadvertently ran into the mechanism that caused the current disaster, but it's okay to make sure that a few of them can get out safely, it's better than annihilating the whole army."
Su You was puzzled: "When was the mechanism triggered?" This is also terrible, if we react slowly, we will not know how we died! ”
"It's the temperature." Su Zuo also said lightly.
Su You immediately reacted, "Could it be the fire?" ”
Su Zuo also nodded and said: "The temperature here is kept at a temperature all year round, it is estimated that this is also deliberately done by the builders here, once there is an invasion of outsiders, the temperature changes, the mechanism will be activated, and the jade will be burned to achieve the purpose of protecting here." After Su Zuoyi finished speaking, he turned to look at the super-large yurt behind them.
"Looks like this is the final place we've been looking for." Benjamin said, with a hint of bitterness.
The crowd was silent, how many people were folded among them for the sake of this place! It can be said that they stepped on the corpses of those people.
"Ayo Ayou, what do you think is written on it?" Dalong shook his flashlight around, and suddenly saw two characters written in scarlet paint on the top, not Chinese characters, but some like pictographs, and he didn't know anything about this.
Su You also followed the light of Dalong's flashlight, but he had never seen such strange words, saying that they were words, but they were more like two paintings.
"This is the most primitive period of the tribe's graphic text, in the form of pictograms, and the pictographs developed in the later period are quite similar, but not quite the same." Benjamin said.
"Don't play with the ink in your stomach here, get to the point!" Dalong said impatiently.
Benjamin stopped his mouth and began to study this kind of graphics, the graphics and texts of different tribes are like the dialects of different regions of China, although the meaning is similar, but the expression is very different, which is the ultimate in the unpopular in contemporary research topics, no one has ever had an in-depth understanding, and Benjamin only knows a thing or two.
After a while, Benjamin spoke: "The general meaning of this picture and text should be to explain that this is a tomb built on a pool of blood!" ”
"Damn, it's finally the tomb owner's lair!" At this moment, Dalong breathed a sigh of relief, from now on, whether he lives or dies depends on God. Even if he hangs here now, his good brother is here anyway, and he won't be lonely when he gets down.
"It's the Bloodpool Tomb." Su Zuoyi's voice suddenly sounded, which surprised Su You.
"Uncle? You know this thing? Su You asked.
"I once saw in an ancient book about the introduction of the blood pool tomb, which is to place the wooden coffin where the corpse is stored and soaked in blood, until the wooden coffin is full of blood and turns scarlet, and then seal the coffin, and then every time the corpse dies, fresh human blood must be put into the blood pool, and after seven years, it is considered a rite of success, and the corpse soaked in blood will cause the illusion of blood flow in its body because it absorbs fresh blood, and in the long run, it will make it feel that it is still alive, so as to prolong it' Lifespan', this is a very yin damage burial method, generally used by people with great power, or bad hearts, but the person who built this tomb is considered to be seriously injured yin, and I don't know who built it here. ”
"Uncle, are you saying that the people in the coffin here are still ...... Alive? Dalong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.
"It's not alive, it's just a breath of resentment." Su Zuo also replied.
Su You turned his head and asked Benjamin: "Could it be that the spiritual blood you want to take is the blood in the body of the corpse in the coffin?" ”
After Benjamin listened to Su Zuoyi's words, his face was pale, he didn't know that his task would be this, but in order to complete this task, they had already suffered enough casualties, such a big price, no matter what, he had to complete the task as scheduled, so he nodded and said: "That's right, it should be." ”
"Who the hell is your boss? How could you want to get such an evil thing! Be careful that he has a life to get, but he doesn't have a life to stop, it's not good if he is counterattacked! Xiaobai said gloomily on the side.
As he spoke, Qi Shan also woke up. Su You told him the news that Yang Song and they were safe, and he quieted down.
Just as the group was about to go in, Xiao Bai, who had gone out to investigate first, walked back slowly, and said with a playful face: "Brothers, we have another big trouble, here...... No door! ”
